Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short, detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An
extension cord may be used if care is properly exercised in its use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The extension cord should also be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How to Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the griddle features. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry.
Do not immerse Control Master

heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE: This griddle is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for heating any cookware. Using this appliance for
purposes different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause damage to the appliance and will void the warranty.
1. Place griddle on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from walls, cabinets, and other objects.
NOTICE: To prevent possible heat
damage to your countertop, place a
heat-resistant counter protector, such
as aluminum foil, under the griddle.
However, to keep the griddle from
moving on the counter, do not place any
portion of the foil under the griddle’s
feet.
2. Slide the drip tray into place. Insert the
heat control into the griddle so the two
electrical pins on the griddle are fully
inserted into the heat control. Connect
the cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
3. Turn the heat control to the desired temperature and preheat the griddle. The indicator light turns off when the selected temperature
is reached, in about 5 to 10 minutes.
NOTE: It is normal to hear a pop or clicking sound while the griddle heats up and cools down. This is due to the expansion and
contraction of the metal.
4. Prepare the food for cooking. Because the griddle features a ceramic nonstick finish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
NOTICE: Avoid using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
5. Place the food on the griddle and cook according to temperature-timetable on page 3. Adjust the heat according to personal
preference and the particular food being cooked.
During cooking, the indicator light will turn on and off to indicate the desired temperature is being maintained.
Use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils for best results. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the
nonstick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
6. Turn the heat control to OFF when cooking is complete. Unplug the heat control from the wall outlet and then from the griddle.
Allow the griddle to cool before removing the drip tray and before cleaning.
